Love it! Great buyer's guide💪 The great thing about your list, you've driven, tested and reviewed everything on it. Most can't say that.

I just converted one of my Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3 nitros to electric and this rc is SICK!!!! IT has beat my expectations by one million percent. Never would I've imagined the speed and power that this thing has. I'm so excited and ready to brag on how this new rc chic might have finally found the perfect hobby to have at midlife.

I got trolled in the Arrma forum with the V2/V5 thing with my Kraton 6S. I'm fairly new to RC and you quickly put that fire out. Thanks again brother.

Them center differentials seems to be a good way to keep the tires down . Wheelies are fun but annoying when you don’t want to wheelie .

[fiercetatsu]

I’d also recommend the Losi super Baja Rey 2.0 at the large scale it’s unreasonably bashable for the type of truck it is and it goes on sale often it’s also one of the best looking Rc’s and one of the most fun to drive because of its size and the type of truck it is.

Great list. But for entry level we find the Traxxas 2wd better than Gorgon or Granite boost. Easier to maintain, much cheaper parts, more durable and generally much more reliable.

[GaetanoCrisci]

hey man, what about MJX 16208 16209 HYPER GO 1/16 among the cheaper models? seams they are selling it a lot!

[jonathanfindlater]

Just received the Kagama and looking forward to using it. Other YouTubers said they prefer it to the Kraton 6s as it is a bit faster and has better handling and of course slightly cheaper.

[RCMK_X_SMITHMASTER]

Awesome list! I’m on the same page as you with the top pick—such a solid choice. 😄🚗 Thanks for breaking it down so well!

[brianlackie]

Most eight scale rc are beginner based. They run off 4 cell batteries. Just line up the plugs, no soldering. Some are more complicated like the xray xb8 and most 10th scale competition buggies are a bit more involved

Thank you very much for this video! I was patiently waiting for it, I’m so glad to see that my first RC made it to this list and I have to thank you for all the good tutorials you have posted on your channel on tips, maintenance and others on the ARRMA Granite, I’m still in love with the Associated MT 10 but considering im not in USA and my hobby shop is Amazon I went for the granite (also because it shares parts on the vortex and senton I felt like it’ll be easier to get parts in case I need) anyway again huge thanks for all the help you’ve given me through the tutorials, blesings!!!

[Hungrybird]

One good cheap and fun car is a the hbx 16980sa . I think it was $120, It’s the latest of that platform with a 3s 2840 3800kv but I think the mjx versions are even more, like the mjx h14bm might be overpowered to bash in high speed ( press button 5 times thing ) but regular looked quick .

[ragercrepair]

Awesome review! I'm wondering how the new redcat vigilante Will stack up on the large scale review now!

[spinrushrc]

Lucky me! 2 of my rigs made your list. B74.2 and TEKNO SCT 2.0 ( Building ). Great choices. You called it!

[RCRoads]

Awesome top 10. Thanks for showing them perfuming on the same surface. I wanted to see the Limitless take a few jumps. lol Great job. Thanks for including the Arrma Granite mainly for the fact that it is a great starter rig for someone new to the hobby.

[toddbertram]

Great line up. Nice to finally see tekno in there. Have you driven the new mt410 2.0... no basher drives better than the original 410 in my opinion. A basher that drives like a race buggy and un my experience tekno durability is amazing.

[romeoblade]

Do you plan on getting the Rlaarlo Omni-Terminator coming out? It looks like an interesting platform/truck for the 1/10-1/12 MT enthusiasts

[GaetanoCrisci]

HBX 2997a should take the entry level place, at 200$, with center differential and brushless motor is far better than both the small Arrma!
amazed you didn't mention any Haiboxing(HBX)!

[bradcarpenter]

No Kyosho?! Glad to see Team Corally on the list, they are very good value!

Hi Razor, great top picks... Love my two B7 (spec and mod) on race track but the Elite worth it too; a bit smoother I think. The SCT Tekno is an absolute underdog. I agree for the Moja in the air... I want to try nitro... Heard a lot of good things about the Inferno. Thanks PL
